T.M. Selection: Ducks/Canucks UNDER.

I am on the under in the Anaheim Ducks vs Vancouver Canucks game on Saturday. The Ducks haven't looked good lately losing 4 games in a row and they haven't been scoring much in these games either. Their defense has been terrible though and they have given up 4+ goals in 3 games in a row. This is going to be the 3rd game of a road trip through Western Canada for them and with 2 losses already, I expect them to tighten up on defense here and try to come away from their road trip with some sort of points. This is the worst team that they will see on their road trip too so this is the best chance they are going to get. The Canucks have won 2 games in a row but they have just returned from San Jose and I think they are going to be due for a bit of a let down here in their 1st game back at home. The Canucks have looked great on defense though and I think this is a game where they will play more defensively since their team could be a bit tired from the travel and the OT game in their most recent one. I'm expecting an underwhelming performance from both teams scorers here and I think this will be a game that the defense and goalies play well in. These teams are very close in the standings too so I don't think either team will be so quick to let in a goal tonight. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Canucks.
